Guest Post and Giveaway - Nobody's Fool by Sarah Hegger

In Sarah Hegger's latest WillowPark Romance, long-held crushes and past frenemies
reunite--and wonder if there's ever a second chance to make a good first
impression. .

Holly Partridge had
no plans to return to Willow Park, Illinois, until her
troubled younger sister Portia fled her home and aimed herself straight at
Holly's high school nemesis--too-gorgeous-to-be-true Josh Hunter. Riding a
manic bipolar high, Portia's only a danger to herself, but Holly needs to find
her before she crashes. That means asking Josh for help.

The ultimate love
'em and leave 'em lothario, Josh was never good for anything but a broken
heart. But now he's lending a hand when Holly needs it most--and revealing
surprising generosity and compassion. Has Josh shed his bad boy ways? Or is
Holly suddenly grown up enough to acknowledge her own mistakes? Trusting Josh
could be a disaster--or the first step in banishing the past to make way for a
future happier than Holly ever imagined. Guest Post by Sarah HeggerMy all time
favorite books…

Man, this
is a tough thing to answer, because I have so many. I know as soon as I finish
writing my list, I’m going to come up with about twenty more that should have
been on the list.

Okay, let’s
give this a go.Jane
Austen’s Pride & Prejudice and Emma - Who can resist her wonderfully flawed
heroines, or those delicious men she pairs them with?

Adam Bede
by George Elliot – such a heart-wrenching story

Our Mutual
Friend – Charles Dickens. Not his most well-known work, but I had to read it
for my Literature degree and devoured it.

Being There
– Jerzy Kosinsky, which I loved so much I went to find his other novels and
loved The Painted Bird just as much.

I Know This
Much to be True by Wally Lamb. Words to rip your heart out, and they did.

The Charley
Davidson Series by Darynda Jones. Epically funny, and Reyes is another of my
book boyfriends.

Natural
Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

Catch of
the Day by Kristan Higgins

A Duke of
her Own by Eloisa James

Mystery Man
and Motorcycle Man by Kristan Ashley

Time to
stop, I know, but I could go on forever. The thing that draws me to a book and
keeps me loving it, and often coming back to reread is great characters. Give
me character with heart and substance and I’ll read anything.

I’d love to
hear about your favorites. There is always space on my To Be Read pile for
more.

Born
British and raised in South Africa, Sarah Hegger suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust. Her
match? A hot Canadian engineer, whose marriage proposal she accepted six short
weeks after they first met. Together they’ve made homes in seven different
cities across three different continents (and back again once or twice). If
only it made her multilingual, but the best she can manage is idiosyncratic
English, fluent Afrikaans, conversant Russian, pigeon Portuguese, even worse
Zulu and enough French to get herself into trouble.Mimicking
her globe trotting adventures, Sarah’s career path began as a gainfully
employed actress, drifted into public relations, settled a moment in
advertising, and eventually took root in the fertile soil of her first love,
writing. She also moonlights as a wife and mother.She currently lives in
Draper, Utah, with her teenage daughters, two Golden Retrievers and
aforementioned husband. Part footloose buccaneer, part quixotic observer of
life, Sarah’s restless heart is most content when reading or writing books.

loves to hear from readers and you can find her at any of the places below.
